Just wondering if there are any fixes out there for the lockscreen lag / delay that seem to be an ongoing issue in Samsung based ROMs.
For anyone not knowing what I mean, its the way that the homescreen appears briefly after waking the phone before the lock screen appears. Its not a big deal, but does look a little "unpolished". Its an issue, that, if I can fix, would solve one of my last remaining issues with the phone.
Try cm7,cm9 or miui. It wakes before you press home

I know they do, as I've tried them all... but I'm on a Samsung based ROM, and as I've got my phone set up exactly how I want it, I'll be staying on it. I'm using the Samsung based ROM because (shock horror) I quite like the way it looks, and is the most "fluid" / smoothest I've tried so far.
Any new about this delay?
Why is it happens? Maybe because the cpu clockdown or something so its take another second to wake the screen on?

You can try to bump up the min to 500mhz

What a load of BS. The S2 will always take at least 0.65 seconds to wake-up, no matter what Rom, kernel, whatever you use.

Everybody knows the answer. There are countless threads already on this subject. Search for Entropy512 and his thorough explanation and don't believe people who say they have no lag.

I know there are many threads regarding this, I have myself one. One of my friends said to me that his s2 wakes up instantly after he presses the home/power button. It is also said that the new aokp roms solved this issue,and users reported this too. But there are others,like me, who still have the lag (1-2 seconds). So i guess i did something wrong with the installation of the roms or anything else. I can't figure it out.
Well,i tried both cm9 and miui roms and i still have the lag.
seems like it should be a 'lag' because the deep sleep mode, its save much more battery on idle..
i'v just notice it too, maybe it always was ...
correct me if i'm wrong...

+1, ur very true ma8 as long as the phone is in perfect deepsleep mode this lag of 1~2 sec do remain and its nothing when compared to the better batt life with good deepsleep
PS- just check the same when ur phone is charging and u dont see that lag since its @ 200mhz always

i know about deep sleep mode. but i don't understand why some people have this lag and others don't.
Maybe for them 1-2 sec ain't call 'lag'.
Until you'll see it in your own eyes, you could judge.. . I bet they didn't waited at least 10 sec to get into the deep sleep...

So recently my eris has been lagging really bad to the point where its pissing me off. it was working fine for a couple of month then the lag started so i factory reset my phone but the lag is still there. it would lag from 30 seconds to mins... I have the latest sensable rom on my phone and i dont think its the rom that is bad..
I was wondering what i can do about this lag.. is my phone broken? Another thing to add is that when the lag started my trackball also started to mess up it occasionally... a lot... moves the left. connection?
If your trackball is starting to scroll to the left at random times, then the lag could definitely be a hardware issue. I had the same issue before I got a replacement Eris. If your phone is still within warranty, then I would take it in and ask for a replacement.
i bought my phone used off of ebay... so i dont think i have warranty...

I remember seeing a thread long time ago with a guide about cleaning underneath the trackball. Removing lint and other particles might help your situation.
Just did a search. There are more thread regarding it, but here is one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=716681
Have you changed your cpu frequency lately? It might not like the speed you are running it at. Also if you are using the setcpu widget that can cause problems.

thanks for the tip on fixing the trackball. it kinda works for me it doesnt scroll to the left as often now. but im still laggggggging like crazy.
i dont know how to change the cpu... i never messed with oc. just install the rom and thats it.

What ROM are you using? Many of the custom ROMs have SetCPU built in. It is fairly simple to use. Just adjust the slider bars for the minimum and maximum speeds. If you set it too high, it can cause kernel panic, which may result in random reboots and lag at times. Higher speeds also consume more battery power. If the minimum is too low, it might take a bit longer to wake up, once the screen is off.
I'm using senseable Rom. There isn't the setcpu app.

Hi,
My battery drops after every abnormal shut down, by pressing the power button for ~8 second. (I do this when the phone freeze.)
And when I turn my SGS2 on, some battery "disappear", sometimes 10%, sometimes 20%, or ever 50%.
For example, I have 90% of battery right before I shut it down (abnormal shut down) , and maybe I get only 50% of battery after I turn the phone on. It that possible that the battery drains 40% in 1 minute? Or it is normal because I shut it down improperly? (have a look of the attachment)
There is no problem if I reboot it normally.
I have two battery, having the same problem.
I face this issue in many ROMs, stock GB ROM, AOKP ROM, MIUI, etc.
I'm using Siyah Kernel 3.1.2 now.
Thanks for any help
(Sorry for my bad English)
I've heard a few users mention this battery drop and i've experienced it myself. It even happens sometimes if i restart my phone after flashing a mod or something.
You'll notice that the battery level starts to climb back up to where it left of (less the normal usage discharge)
Yep, normal on the SGS2.
Just part of the battery weirdness as a result of that fuel gauge chip. Entropy512 has written many a post on the subject if you feel like searching/reading up on it. Nothing to be alarmed about tho, and nothing you can fix. Just make sure you've got plenty of battery left before you do a flash.
On other hand, your freezes if regular is a worry!

Yup, my SGS2 freezes quite frequently after upgrading to Android 4.0.4.
Maybe I'll downgrade to 4.0.3, or perform a full wipe and flash the ROM again to fix this.

Battery drop is pretty common say 7 out of 10 times if you remove battery, after boot you will be 10-20 percent less. Specially if you change roms quickly..

Apart from the first few words of what you said (which I've omitted), what does the rest of it have to do with the OP's query about battery dropping after a dodgy shutdown or when flashing firmwares ?

Hey, didn't find any topic about this so I thought I'd make a thread for it.
Does anyone know for sure if the dreaded wake-up lag (e.g. SII) is still present when we wake the phone from deep sleep mode?
This is one of the things that really bother me about my SII, even if it "just" takes roughly about 1/1.5 seconds to get the screen powered on.
Would be awesome if this minor issue had been sorted out by Samsung in the newest Galaxy S generation
OMG I hate that topic !!!
Dude, the so called wake-lock is due to the phone clocking from deep sleep/200mhz to 1,4 ghz.
If you don't want that "lag" you would have your phone run at "full speed" all the time.
Then the battery drains big time. You wouldn't even be able to use it for half a day
Do you really want that?
Actually, apparently the wake up lag on the S2 was from the phone waiting for the modem to become active.
So the S2 should wake up faster, but the hardware design is a bit... silly?
Anyway, I hope the S3 wakes up a LIL faster. I don't have a problem with the S2's wake up time, but I wouldn't mind it being faster

Well I know that mate, but there are phones out there which doesn't have this "issue" so one might think Samsung may have improved this in their newest iteration of the Galaxy S series.
This topic should evaluate whether this lag still exists or not. Simple as that.
No need to roll your eyes, dude

Well mine was pretty instant when i was using it for the first time yesterday, have noticed that there is slightly more lag tonight when unlocking the phone from sleep mode..
Dunno if theres anything we can do? Maybe the more experienced galaxy users might know more
The lag is present for me too (but about 0.5 - 1 second), but I guess when custom kernels with additional governors and maybe modded rils come up it will get way better, just have patience.

Dude you've never seen an HTC or Motorola or LG or Sony Android phone have you? Everyone makes Android phones and only Samsung products have wake up lag. Competitors phones don't have to run full speed all the time to wake up instantly. If everyone else can do it, why can't Samsung do it?
Even if you want to check the clock, you have to wait 1-1,5 seconds. That's epic fail for me.
The phone goes into deep sleep and this permeates to other devices such as the modem.
Wake up occurs and the exynos soc has to wait for the modem to wake up. Just a silly way Samsung does things.
Speeding up the CPU won't help much, deep sleep is effectively 0mhz just because the min freq is say 1000mhz or even 1400mhz deep sleep c states are what they are.
The solution is wake lock, it keeps the entire motherboard active full time. The most reliable method that doesn't find itself getting killed in the background is android terminal emulator app. I'll attach a screenshot on where the option is. The ongoing notification icon is the magic trick that makes the app reliable, stops the android task manager/memory manager from killing its process occasionally.
There is no fix, there will never be a fix there will be workarounds. I pull this off by using a combo of very efficient CPU settings and the official sgs2 exbatt.
When I lock the screen of my Galaxy S3, then press either the power button or the home button to show the lockscreen, about half the time it takes about 2 seconds to show the screen after button press. I've searched and seen S-Voice caused this problem so I disabled that. I also removed my SD card and rebooted but the same issue still occurs.
Any way to fix this because my HTC One X didn't have this problem...
Thanks.

Power saving mode is already off. I don't particularly want to flash a ROM unless I have to because I've had warranty troubles in the past. Are you certain a ROM would fix it? Which ROM?
And I also tune lock screen off.
Do you install any power save app??

I get this also. Got it on the Stock ROM and ARHD. I have also seen this on my gf's Galaxy Ace, but only when upgraded to GB. On Froyo (Yes, that old version) it turns on instantly. So think it might be a Samsung thing. Not yet tried an AOSP ROM on my S III yet so may give that a go as itching to get some Jelly Bean on it.
Hello! I am new to xda forums and this is my first post
I also have a problem with slow wake up time from sleep after flashing the latest Synergy rom. Any ideas why this lag happens?
Thank you in advance!
this lag is killing me. it's mega retarded that high end phone is having this kind of bug.
any rom without slow wake lag to reccommend?

Lag is hardware-related looks like. Present on CM10 based ROMs as well. On stock-based disabling S-Voice helps just a little bit when it comes to waking up from Home button...
Killing me as well. :\ What I getting used to is to press Home while pulling phone out - straight away so by the time I get it in position to work with, the screen is either already on or will be on in a 200-500 ms.
Still this is a most frustrating "feature" of SGS3 that will most likely force me to look for replacements once those are available on the market.
The issue is still present even in the latest Paranoid Android ROM.
After tweaking a bit, I found that if you have WiFi enabled, will cause this lag.
Just disable the WiFi and you get instant screen wake up.

This problem annoys me to death too. I've tried many ICS/JB stock ROM and custom ROM (including CM10), but none of them could solve the problem.
I did notice some trend: right after a reboot, the screen turns on fairly quickly. Then after turning on the network (mobile data or wifi) and use facebook or other apps that access network for a few minutes, the delay starts to increase to the usual ~2sec. Looks like some network process might be causing the problem. FYI, My cousin's Note 2 don't seem to have this problem.
Any hacker out there can give some hints or help find out what process might be the culprit?
it's because the phone goes into deep sleep, to prevent this you can download a app that named softlocker. you may get not as good batterytime.

From what I see, I don't believe deep sleep is the problem. My LG P500 (running ICS) goes into deep sleep all the time (per CPU spy et al), and it never has this problem. Seems to me like something else is causing this...

no other brands have this problem. only samsung, thats so strange.
I too suffer from wakeup delay of 1-2 seconds and it's driving me crazy.
After 2 long years I had to live with majestically f**ed up LG Optimus 2X, I finally decided to throw that junk away and get a phone that works as expected, phone performance of which would be equal to it's price (and the price was not something that limited me).
Now I own a phone which even though is snappy and nice and everything, takes ages to wake up. And what pisses me off the most is that Samsung is OK with that, because obviously majority of the customers / owners is OK with that. How is that possible ffs. Low end devices for fraction of that price resume from deep sleep almost immediatelly (in time I don't consider waiting). How's that this is not a big issue ?!
Sorry, I'm just frustrated
EDIT: To add something constructive ... the deep sleep really is the problem here. If the phone doesn't go to deep sleep, wake up to lockscreen is instantaneous (try that by yourselves with SoftLocker app). It's believed that S3 suffers from this issue because of the way the GSM modem is integrated with (or in ? I am not sure) Exynos4 - source.
I just smacked my phone in the table, while in my pocket and now I"m experiencing the same problem. Is this even possible, or I had it before and just didnt notice till now?!
Hi guys, I'm running the latest version of Slim Bean with stock modem XXLE8 and whatever kernel comes with Slim. I've noticed that there is a 1.5-2 second delay upon hitting the power or home button to the screen turning on and being ready to use. It's pretty annoying as you can imagine, I've actually figured out what the problem is, my phone is going to deep sleep too early and is taking up to 2 seconds to wake up, I wouldn't mind this if the phone has been left alone for 2 hours or so, but if I leave my phone for 5 minutes I shouldn't have to wait 2 seconds to unlock it. I came to this conclusion by using the app softlocker from the market, which disables sleep, and the lockscreen is perfectly fine with no lag, so should I try a new modem or a new kernel or is there something else I have to try to solve this issue?
There are already some discussions about that problem:

Hmmmmm I might flash a stock rom and check it out because I don't remember it happening when I was running stock, tho that was for a grand total of 3 days lol.
This has always been a particular issue surrounding the Android software in terms of the optimisation of the OS...Keep in mind that kernels and ROMs with plently of adjustment may also mean plenty of variables, as small settings adjustments may alter and cause detrimental lags and issues as such. I use Phenomenal which is pretty good as there is little adjustments, disabled logs and undervolted...very good battery and response...I would recommend looking at something like that...unfortunately, should you wish not to root your device and keep it as standard, you may look at if there is an app that might be causing your the issue...but please note that slow unlocking/wake is because the device is in deep sleep.

sure, but i own quite a view other android phones and none behaves like the s3, not even the superlow-budget htc one v
i installed the omega 4.2 AOKP rom today, but the lag is there, too....i got back to arhd for now...
theres a app called softlocker, but with that the cpu never gets to deepsleep, my s3 gets warm and the battery drains badly
